[Zoisite]
You're going to have to talk to me eventually.

----

[Usagi]
I suppose you'll be wanting that explanation.

[Seeing as this entire entry is supposed to be backdated to shortly after this failthread, Yuan's sitting just outside the entrance to the forest, leaning back against a tree. His journal's open in his lap while he waits for an answer from either of the two people he just tried to contact. If one were to look closely, they'll notice he has a black eye. Long story short, Zoisite threw a journal at him and it didn't end well.

Now he's been kicked out of his own house. He stupidly left the key inside when Zoisite locked the door behind him.]

Oh, alright, fine. So I did lie about those things. It was for your own good.

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Why? How was lying to me for my own good?

[Filtered]

[fortunefail]

Because if I told you about the situation, you'd try to interfere. I was planning to handle Zoisite without your involvement.

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

You had no idea who he was, Yuan, and you still have no idea what he's done or what he's capable of. Tell me how you were going to handle him.

[Filtered]

[fortunefail]

... Discreetly.

[Yeah, he's got nuttin'.]

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Ah.

[fortunefail]

The only way to stop your enemy is to stay close to him and find out his weaknesses. Alternatively, there could very well be a way around this without violence.

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

He's my enemy, Yuan, not yours. And I've already told you that I was going to find another way to deal with him.

[Filtered]

[fortunefail]

...

There is... one other lie you should know about.

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

...What is it?

[Filtered]

[fortunefail]

... I was affected by the experiment on Valentine's Day.

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

...Oh. I see. You didn't need to lie about it...

[Filtered]

[fortunefail]

And give you the pleasure of knowing I fell for the same thing twice?

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

It's funny how nearly everyone fell for it, even me!

[fortunefail]

The chances that your 'partner' turned out to be the enemy of one of your companions is very slim.

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

I'm sure lots of people got the enemies of one of their companions, which you should change to friend, you know? It was still no reason to hide it.

[Filtered]

[fortunefail]

Hm.

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Oh well. Know that I forgive you but for punishment I demand you bake me a cake.

[Filtered]

[fortunefail]

A cake?

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Yes. An apology cake. It must be delicious and you must eat a piece with me.

[Filtered]

[fortunefail]

Can't I just get one from the bakery?

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Nope. That wouldn't be an apology cake! [Not that she would be able to tell the difference between bakery baked and Yuan baked.]

[Filtered]

[fortunefail]

[Yuan is sorely tempted to cheat and ask Regal to bake this 'apology cake'. That guy's working at the bakery now. He should know what a cake like that would look like. Of course, that'd mean asking Regal for a favor.]

I don't know the first thing about baking cakes.

[Filtered]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

This is a great time to learn! There a cook books in the library, and baking a cake can't be all that tough. [....And this is coming from the girl who burns anything she makes. Haha!]

[fortunefail]

You realize I can't use my kitchen for that purpose with Zoisite in my house, right?
